A perfect description of Garfield. And yes, its a bit on the 'slick' side, which will dissipate over time and use.
Firm on the seat end? As in the front edge of the sectional? It normally would be as you have a hard edge underneath and as you come back into the piece you go onto the 8-way hand-tied spring grid which has some give to it. All pieces 'settle in' somewhat and are stiff when new. You'll see a big difference in the way they sit after 6 weeks of use.
No. Physically on the last seat towards the arm on the long section. Definitely noticeably firmer. It isn't a problem or anything, just an observation.
Yes, those screws need to come out. Shame on the delivery company for not removing those...I will send them an email on it. On every sofa section there are appx (10) screws that are # 2 Square Drive which hold and support the piece in the cardboard outer. That wood frame keeps intrusions off the piece during shipping. There are only two reasons for leaving the screws behind, both caused by incompetence. One is they didn't have a # 2 Square bit driver and tried to use a Phillips #2, which strips the head, and the other is they didn't know how to unpack it properly and broke the wood away rather than removing the screws. I suspect when you look at them the heads are stripped (reason # 1) and then you have to get Vice Grips to rotate out the screws (You can see I've done this a few times
)
I figured as much. That will be my project for today I suppose..lol
All the furniture is jig-built so its very rare for it to be not level. Floors in the other hand, especially tile and wood floors, are rarely level. The only way to tell for sure is to place the ottoman on a dead flat surface like a metal table. If you can stick some felt pads (available from most any hardware store) on the bottom feet of the ottoman that will usually suffice on tile, and if you get a rug for that are then the rug will effectively self-level everything.
I would bet on the tile as well. However I noticed when they placed down the first piece of the sectional, the inner most foot(in the corner), was off the ground like the frame was a bit "tweaked" but if they assemble them in a jig with both pieces of the sectional secured together, I can see why. Once put together it fits amazing.
Yes, cushions ALWAYS need adjusting after the movers bring them in. They just lay them in the piece. Remove them and line up the velcro strip on the back, then reach over the top of the cushion and tuck the cushion in from the bottom. That's how you set them properly. You can adjust the angle of the back by where you fit the velcro strip on the back. For a more vertical sit, place the velcro higher. For a more inclined sit, attach it about an inch lower. Always tuck in from the bottom. Remind me and I'll make a video of how to do that!
Ok, I will be doing this today. So are you saying put the seat bottoms on first, then go at the back cushions? Then tuck the bottom of the back cushion, behind the back of the seat cushion? Additionally I assume all the cushions both seat, and back are the same other then the corner?
Glad you like the sectional, send photos!
